@MetamateDaz Stop working for Amazon for less problem solved. You can’t demand a company pays more if people are willing to work for less. Jeff Bezos probably should pay that but your local diner shouldn’t!

Amazon workers pee in bottles to meet quotas but Jeff Bezos buys yachts so big that in 2022 they nearly dismantled a historic bridge to move it through Rotterdam. And we’re debating whether a $30 minimum wage is “realistic.” The debate itself is obscene.

@Nithya_Shrii Grow your own food, hunt, buy land, build house, dig a well, learn about medicine and be healthy. You won’t have to pay anyone profit.

Unpopular opinion: groceries, housing, water, and healthcare shouldn’t be for profit.

@scottsantens Terrible idea

Allowing SNAP recipients to buy rotisserie chickens is like the smallest possible improvement. This reads like an Onion article. It's helpful, sure, but this nonsense of determining what food is allowed and what isn't should stop. People should get CASH. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

Taxpayers forced to fund welfare feel they deserve a say in how their money is spent. It makes sense working poor earn less than nonworking recipients who live better than low middle class workers. We’re incentivizing a welfare system that in turn drives up costs for everyone else. That’s why so many want strict limits on what SNAP benefits can buy.

Why do so many people feel the need to police what poor people eat?

@Apu_elrojo This tweet backfired spectacularly. Anyone paying attention knows Javier Milei has delivered a economic turnaround in Argentina 🇦🇷. Short term pain was inevitable but the results speak louder than the critics.

Datos de Javier Milei desde que gobierna en Argentina 🇦🇷: ▫️Se han perdido 300.000 empleos. ▫️Han cerrado 22.000 empresas. ▫️Inflación anual del 31,5%. ▫️Crecimiento -2,6%. Datos de Pedro Sánchez en el mismo periodo 🇪🇸: ▫️Se han creado 783.000 empleos. ▫️Se han constituído 350.000 empresas. ▫️Inflación anual del 2,7%. ▫️Crecimiento +2,8%. VIVA EL SOCIALISMO, CARAJO.

@SethAbramson Completely fabricated number. More than likely USAID killed millions of children by funding terrorist organizations and lining the pockets of Democrats.

Would anyone else here be fine with Elon Musk being charged with 518,428 counts of Negligent Homicide?

@SenWarren I think trumps running a daycare in Minnesota so he should be good.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer. Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing. Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

@SenBooker They where caught funding the organizations they claim to be fighting against! Why would you stick up for such a despicable organization? Unless you’re part of the fraud they are committing…

The DOJ just indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that has spent more than half a century fighting the Klan, tracking hate, and defending civil rights. Let's be clear about what's happening. This administration is using the full weight of federal prosecution to target an organization whose mission is rooting out violent extremism. This is part and parcel of Trump's assault on free speech, on nonprofits, and on anyone who dares to disagree with him. First it was lawfare against political opponents. Then it was revoking the tax status of universities. Now it's a federal indictment against one of the most historic civil rights organizations in America. The SPLC has saved lives. It will not be silenced — and neither will we.

@ick_real Your not the bank never lend money to anyone period. If they are asking you it’s because a bunch of other people already told them to kick rocks sounds like it’s time for a new girlfriend too.

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF

@WallStreetApes This is a complete lie break down the math don’t just share a made up sob story

American works full time, she doesn’t own a home, “I don't own anything crazy” She just did her taxes and “I literally sh*t my f*cking pants” Despite working full time, not making any big purchases, she has no money but owes $17,000 in taxes She says if she were to pay her taxes, she would actually be negative money after working all year just from paying bills and taxes “I just wanna know how the f*ck does one owe so much money in taxes when they got no money?” As of 2026, data shows the average American does not have any substantial amount of money left at the end of the year after bills, taxes, and typical spending In fact the number is so low, that after taxes the average American typically only is able to save 4% of their money after bills Insane

@Geniustechw If they already paid into those programs they definitely should collect but also fight to abolish such programs that take way more than they give.

Your thoughts?

@patobonato Watch the movie demolition man this is a bad idea lol

Un científico de Yemen mostró un concepto de prisión de IA del futuro Cognify propone encerrar a los criminales en cápsulas especiales y reeducar sus cerebros con falsos recuerdos generados por redes neuronales. El resultado son nuevas personas que no querrán violar la ley. ¿Qué dicen ustedes?

@TheSaurus831 LMFAO 🤣 as you use his platform for free speech

Lmfao the guy who bought a platform to suppress free speech

@mr_mayank Wait to you hear how messed up this guy is. His ex wife wrote a book about him and let’s say him cooking a puppy alive in a microwave in front of his kids probably wasn’t the worst thing he did 👀

BREAKING : Another defeat for Right Wingers across the world A 45 year old young & dashing Liberal Péter Magyar is all set to become the next Hungarian Prime Minister 🔥 Enough of 80 year old Trumps or Netanyahus. The world needs more young leaders now, more than ever 🫡

@BarackObama Victory for the globalist but certainly not a victory for democracy or the people of Hungary.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

@LibertyCappy A booster shot

What do you do?

120 is actually 20%, which is pretty standard. That said, you didn't have to tip at all, 60 is still better than nothing. I wouldn’t feel bad about it. Tipping culture has gotten completely out of hand, and honestly, most servers I’ve encountered lately aren’t very good at their jobs. They’re often overpaid for the level of service you actually receive. I only tip well when the service is actually good.

We went out to dinner with a group of five, and by the end of the night the bill was right around $577 and change. When it came time to pay, we left a $60 tip because we felt like that was a fair amount and wanted to leave something extra for the service. What I didn’t expect was the server making a comment that she was expecting closer to $120. And no, it didn’t come across like some light little joke either. The tone felt serious, the moment got awkward fast, and suddenly we were standing there feeling uncomfortable over a tip we had already chosen to leave in the first place. When we pushed back and mentioned possibly talking to a manager, that’s when the story suddenly changed to “I was just kidding.” But let’s be real — not every rude comment magically becomes a joke just because someone gets called out on it. The whole thing left us feeling weird and honestly kind of embarrassed, because we weren’t trying to short anybody. We tipped what we thought was reasonable, and being confronted like that completely changed the vibe of the night. So now I’m curious — was $60 on a $577 bill really that unreasonable, or would most people also think asking for $120 was way out of line?🙄🙄 By Martha Barker
